[wildfly-dev] WFLY-9574 - Distribution files does not have POSIX permissions perfectly set

[Brian Stansberry]

I think we need to start with the assumption that the permissions we have
in the zip are the way they are for a reason and evaluate possible changes
based on discussion here of each type of change. Maybe the RPM settings are
better, maybe they are not. Or maybe they are better but the improvement is
not worth the disruption a change may cause to our end users, who may rely
on the current zip settings. Or maybe what we have in the zip is clearly
wrong and doesn't follow our own intent. I expect we'll probably see a
little of each category, although hopefully some changes for WF 11 removed
the "clearly wrong and doesn't follow our intent" cases. :)
